Detailed Solution
Ionisation energy is the energy required to remove an electron from outer shell of an atom. Since, on moving from left to right in a period, size decreases, thus larger amount of energy is required to remove an electron, i.e., ionisation energy increases. Although, the size of O-atom is smaller as compared to N but the ionisation energy of N is higher. This is because in case of N, the electron is to be removed from stable half-filled 2p3 orbital. Thus, the order of ionisation energy is O < N < F or N > O > F.
